Programs greatly depend on donations from the faith community, businesses, foundations, and individuals.

“We share Interfaith Housing’s mission of building healthy communities through the creation and preservation of affordable housing. Our community development team works in neighborhoods around the region to build homes, create jobs and promote educational opportunities. The outreach efforts of Interfaith Housing go a long way toward this effort, which is why we partner with this organization to help people to realize their dreams.”

Programs

Housing Matters

The Housing Matters program provides affordable housing opportunities, financial education, and housing counseling services for the working poor, seniors on fixed incomes, and individuals or families with disadvantages and/or disabilities, to give them the knowledge and resources they need to achieve economic stability and a higher quality of life.

Financial education and housing counseling is crucial toward making a difference in the lives of residents who are at risk of losing their homes through foreclosure, vulnerable to identity theft and debt reduction scams, and/or unable to create and manage household budgets that foster credit repair and asset building, such as home ownership.

Purchase-Repair Homeownership

IHA’s Purchase-Repair Homeownership Program provides affordable homeownership opportunities to families and individuals in Carroll, Frederick, and Washington counties. Program participants receive free technical assistance from IHA through the entire homeownership process, from credit repair and budgeting counseling, preparing the loan application, locating and placing an appropriate home under contract, how to repair and maintain their home, as well as on-going post-purchase counseling to eliminate any chance of foreclosure in the future. The entire community benefits by revitalizing neglected communities, reusing infrastructure and preserving existing housing.

Supportive Services

Building on our experience of addressing the challenges of those we serve and by leveraging partnerships, IHA’s programs go beyond “Sticks and Bricks” to build vibrant and sustainable communities to meet the needs of our residents.
